My foster parents say I’m full of beans! I think it means I like playing & have LOTS of energy – I particularly like jumping and I can do backflips when I feel like showing off. I’m 6 months old now & I’m very confident. I’d like a home where I’m the centre of attention and probably the only cat. I have an older foster brother and I’m a bit too energetic for them. I love eating, playing and cuddling. I can be left on my own – I don’t mind if you work in the day. My foster parents say I can be in a home with older cat savy children I like sitting on humans a lot when I’m not jumping and running around. I like sitting on chests & laps.
Leah is an 18-month old Cavalier cross Shih Tzu who
is being fostered in Cardiff, South Wales. She is a clever little girl will sit
give you her paw and high five! She apparently will also do roll over but we
haven’t managed to get her to do that yet. She is a happy little soul and her
tail will wag at the sound of a familiar voice even if she is sitting on your lap.
People – Leah is human focused and loves to
sit and cuddle with you, she will lie like a baby in your arms and she lies on
her back for a tickle. She will let her foster mum look in her mouth and her
ears without a murmur. Leah likes people but can take a little while to
approach them. Once she is used to them she is fine. She is more reticent if
approached from the top of her head. She loves her foster family and gives out
her cuddles and kisses in equal measures. She does bark if a stranger visits
but her tail is wagging and as soon as they show her some affection or a treat
she is fine. She has met her foster mum’s three-year old boisterous
grandson and she adored him from the moment she met him. She jumps on him tail
wagging sits by him when he is playing and will charge around the garden with
him.
Dogs – Leah is wary and a little nervous
around other dogs when she meets them on walks. She shows no sign of aggression
she is just apprehensive and shy possibly because she hasn’t socialised much
with other dogs. She is getting better the more she is walked and there are
some dogs now which she will say hello to. Large groups of dogs do scare her
though and she will run past them.
Cats – Not cat tested
In the home – Leah has been left for up to
three hours with her foster siblings and has been absolutely fine. On her
first night in fosters Leah chose to sleep in a crate and has slept there every
night right through with no worries. She doesn’t use it at all during the day
and last night because one of her foster siblings was in her crate she chose to
come and sleep on her foster mum’s bed with her foster
sister. She is still a young dog and will chew children’s toys if they are
left out. She does have a tendency to jump up and mouth your clothing when she
gets excited.
Out and about – Leah walks well on lead
although initially gets excited and tries to chew the lead. She has been out by
a busy road and was a fine with cars passing. She will sit on the pavement if
you ask her to and then walks only when you tell her to cross.
Type of home – Leah has been an only dog for
most of her life and I think she could happily live as one again. She does love
her humans and has formed a bond with her foster mum already. She
could live with another dog providing it is laid back and willing to take a
back seat for affections. She could live with a family with children but they
would need to be aware that she does get excited and mouthy at times and might
chew toys if left. She is young enough to learn adapt to different
circumstances. It is important that she is re-homed somewhere where the owner/s
are home the majority of the day. She can be left for a few hours but not full-time
workers.
Please remember, if you have a dog and it is not
neutered, it is against our policies to re-home a dog with you.
Leah is neutered, chipped, vaccinated and up
to date with her flea and worming treatment. Potential adopters will be
expected to travel to meet her in her foster home in Cardiff, South Wales
Judy is a 5-year old ex-breeding Cavalier
King Charles Spaniel, who is being fostered in Worcestershire. She will need to
live with a kind resident dog for company but just loves people, which is
unusual for ex-breeders. Judy is a wonderful lapdog and can’t get enough of
cuddles.
People – Judy loves people and
cuddles. She hasn’t met any younger children but we think children over 10
would be ok for her to live with.
Dogs – Judy is very sociable
and will approach other dogs when out on a walk. As an ex-breeding girl she
will only be rehomed where there is another dog for company.
Cats – Judy barks at the cats she has
met so we feel it is better that her new home doesn’t have any.
In the home – Judy’s toilet
training is almost there but her adopters will need to be prepared for accidents
until she gets used to her new routine She has not been crated and has been
left for a couple of hours so far without a problem. Judy is a typical lapdog
and can’t get enough cuddles. She will bark at her own reflection and dogs on
the television. Word of warning: this gal can snore!! You may need to invest in
some earplugs of an evening.
Out and about – Judy walks well on
the lead and enjoys being out and about. She sits and waits for her lead to be
put on. She does enjoy running in the grass and will chase birds and do zoomies.
She travels well in the car and has been alright at the vets – albeit a little
cautious.
Type of home – Judy is looking for a
home where her humans are around for most of the day and will not be suited to
full time workers. She loves to be with people and enjoys cuddles. She has
basic training – sit, stay and recall, although is a little daunted by doggy
toys that she has come across.
Judy is neutered, chipped, vaccinated
and up to date with her flea and worming treatment. Potential adopters will be
expected to travel to meet her in her foster home in Worcestershire.
Della is a 7-year old ex-breeding Bichon Frise, who
is being fostered in Barry, South Wales. She is a lovely affectionate girl, who
enjoys fuss and will lick you in return!
Della has settled straight away in her foster home and gets on well with
the resident dogs. Sometimes when you talk to her, she cocks her head to one
side, which is very cute. Della has congenital cataracts but you wouldn’t even
realise this only noticeable when you look into her eyes, but doesn’t hold her
back at all.
People – Della is more interested in other
people’s dogs than in the owners. She is very friendly when she greets another
dog. Della likes to be fussed and is quite good at being groomed. She didn’t
like having her ears brushed but is fine with that now.
Dogs – Della is a former breeding girl
so gets on with dogs very well. She must have at least one other dog to live
with in her new home. When she meets another dog, her tail goes like
crazy, but it twirls in a circle rather than the usual wag!
Cats – Della can live with cats
In the home – Della is housetrained and has only
ever had one accident in the house, although her new owners will have to give
her time to settle. Della discovered the cat flap straight away so she goes out
as and when she needs to go. Della sleeps upstairs in her fosterer’s bedroom on
a dog bed on the floor. Della hates the crate with a passion and will howl and bark
and try to get escape. As she is such a good dog a crate is not required. Della
is not destructive at all, but she does like to delve into the recycling and
rip any packets she can lick! She isn’t yet interested in toys. Della eats well
and enjoys her food. Della does not really like to be left and will howl and
bark when you go out but this doesn’t last too long. She has been left for about
4 hours.
Out and about – Della walks well on a lead. She does
like a run, which she has on a training lead. There have been no problems travelling
in a car and she behaves well in the vets .
Type of home – Della is looking for a retirement
pad with older people who like walking and whose lives seem to revolve around their dogs! She will be happier with someone at home most
of the time. Della has congenital cataracts but this doesn’t hold her back at
all. The only drawback is that she can’t see too well into the distance; she
doesn’t bump into anything in the home or outside.
Della is neutered, chipped, vaccinated and up to
date with her flea and worming treatment. Potential adopters will be expected
to travel to meet her in her foster home in Barry, South Wales

Ricky is a 2-year old Cavalier cross Bichon Frise
who is being fostered in South Wales. He is a lovable chap who will try to wrap
you round his little finger paw
in no time. As he is still a young dog Ricky will benefit from further training
and boundaries.
People – Ricky initially came into rescue
scared of everyone and everything but with a confident handler he has realised
there is nothing to be frightened of. Ricky loves humans and other dogs. He
may take a little while to trust but learns very quickly. A little bit of patience and letting him
realise he is not going to be hurt and you will soon have a friend for
life.
Dogs – Ricky happily lives with other dogs in his foster home and he would be happier living in a home with another dog for company.
Cats – Not cat tested
In the home – Ricky usually uses the garden to
toilet but occasionally has a little accident in the house. This is possibly from fear or excitement and
once settled into a proper routine this should cease. Ricky is used now to sleeping in a crate at
night, he seems to like the security and routine. He also gets fed in his crate (with the door
open). He is a good eater and looks
forward to his two meals a day. Ricky has not been left without other dogs or a
human but does not depend on having a human present. Apart from occasional toilet accidents in the
house, Ricky does love to shred newspapers, handy if you want them shredded,
not so great if you haven’t read them yet!
He has not destroyed anything else though, no remote controls, furniture
etc but he is an intelligent dog that should not be allowed to be bored.
Out and about – Ricky is great in the car and prefers
to be on the floor. I always strap him
in to a seatbelt for everyone’s safety. Ricky was great at the vet, travelled
well and happy in the waiting room, saying hello to other dogs and happy to
stay on the floor. Ricky is good on the
lead and is learning recall on a long lead.
This training will need to continue as he gains confidence with his
forever family.
Type of home – Ricky would love a home with at least
one other well behaved confident dog and humans who are experienced, patient,
firm and understanding. Ricky is not as
scared as he makes out, he is a loving, happy and confident little dog that
just needs some reassurance, good training and setting of boundaries. For his own good, he is at the right age to
learn rules so a bit of tough love is necessary. He is so quick to learn, his forever family
should be prepared to continue his training and keep him busy to be rewarded
with a loyal, loving, well behaved cuddle monster.
Ricky is neutered, chipped, vaccinated and up to
date with his flea and worming treatment. Potential adopters will be expected
to travel to meet him in his foster home in South Wales.
Can I live with other dogs?: Yes, at least one
other dog is a must.

Posie is a 2-year old ex-breeding Cavalier cross
Springer Spaniel. She is being fostered in RCT, South Wales, and loves nothing
more than to relax on the sofa and sleep the day away. She enjoys a potter
around the garden and is particularly fond of her chicken trays
People – Posie loves to have a cuddle from her
humans and always wags her tail when you enter a room. Posie is happy
around children who are gentle with her and are happy to just sit and cuddle
her. She isn’t playing yet but we don’t expect it will be long.
Dogs – As an ex-breeding girl Posie likes
other dogs to cuddle up to and follow so we will only rehome her where there is
a kind, resident dog for company.
Cats – Not cat tested
In the home – Posie has been left for short
periods with another dog for company. She can be a bit of a fussy eater
and likes lots of encouragement to eat. Posie’s housetraining
is a work in progress so her adopters will have to be patient and continue the
good work started in her foster home.
Out and about – Posie
walks well on the lead. As she has only just been spayed and not used to lead
walking she is only currently going on short walks and we are building up the
distance slowly.
Type of home – Posie would love a home where
her humans are around a lot of the time. She is happy to be left for short
periods but would need at least one kind resident dog for company. She could
live with sensible children who know to be gentle with her and teach her how to
play at her own pace. She would also like a sofa where she can curl up and
sleep
Please remember, if you have a dog and it is not
neutered, it is against our policies to re-home a dog with you.
Posie is neutered, chipped, vaccinated and up
to date with her flea and worming treatment. Potential adopters will be
expected to travel to meet her in her foster home in Rhondda, South
Wales
This gorgeous boy didn’t have the best of starts in life but he has been sorted out and showered with love by his wonderful foster family and has blossomed into a very handsome and friendly soul.
What he needs now is to find a home where the love showering continues and not only from humans – after being on his own all his life so far, it is our mission to find him a special lady rabbit friend. If there was a Tinder for rabbits, Herbie would be at the top of everybun’s list!
Herbie is now six years old and simply adorable. He is full of fun and mischief. Due to lack of care in his younger days, his teeth aren’t as good as they could be but he has been doing really well as he has discovered the joys of eating hay which will help keep his teeth healthy.
He is neutered and fully vaccinated (both vaccines) and is ready to seek a loving home with a NEUTERED, VACCINATED female. There is a process to bonding rabbits which we can help and advise with.
Herbie will need quarterly check ups with a vet because of his teeth and Friends of Animals Wales will cover the costs of these visits and any future treatment needed to keep his teeth in good condition. If you think you are able to give Herbie the forever home he deserves, please click on the link below. Please remember that Herbie is looking for love and he needs a home where he can be bonded with a neutered and vaccinated female rabbit:
Harvey is an 8-month old Bichon Frise
cross who is being fostered in RCT, South Wales. He is as cute as a button and
full of energy – always on the lookout for mischief.
People – Harvey is really scared of humans but at the same time is desperate for interaction. When he first came into rescue, his foster mum couldn’t touch him, but now he comes over to ask for attention. He won’t let her stroke his back yet but should do once he gains in confidence. Due to this fear, we will not rehome him with children.
Dogs – Harvey is happy
around other dogs and will only be rehomed where there is another dog for company.
Cats – Not cat tested.
In the home – Harvey’s
toilet training is a work in progress, but he is pretty good as long as the
door is open. He sleeps in a crate in the kitchen but isn’t keen on the door
being shut – he barks and scratches at the crate if you lock it. He has been
destructive towards furniture in his foster home, but the incidences are
getting less and less so he is learning boundaries. His energies have been
focussed with a yak chew, which he loves. He pinches shoes and chews them and
loves ripping paper. That said, the negatives are getting less as he learns
what he’s allowed to chew and what he’s not allowed to chew. He does love a
cuddly toy to de-stuff. He is ok when left as he has the other dogs for company
Out and about – Harvey isn’t
used to walking on a lead yet and he will refuse to go anywhere when on one. This
will be ongoing in his new home, but we are sure he will get the hang of it
eventually. He travels well in the car and was fine at the vets.
Type of home – A quiet adult home is a must for Harvey. He will need another active resident dog in his new home, as the big joy in Harvey’s life is playing with the other dogs. Someone who has loads of patience to coax Harvey out of his shell and continue his training.
Harvey is neutered, chipped,
vaccinated and up to date with his flea and worming treatment. Potential
adopters will be expected to travel to meet him in his foster home in RCT,
South Wales
Lottie came from a home after being bought from a breeder. She is a nervous girl who will be looking for a home with understanding adopters who will give her time and patience. She needs to live with another confident dog for company.
Update: 22/04/2019: Lottie bonds quickly with women but is happy to have treats and a quick snuggle with men. Lottie will need a confident dog to live with as she loves playing with the others. Fine with cats. Walks beautifully on lead. I would say she has been exposed to busy environments as she is scared in unknown environments. Haven’t tried with children as I don’t have any so will see if I can expose her this week. Asks to go out to toilet and is clean in the house.
Nell is a 2-year old ex-breeding girl who is being
fostered in Newport, South Wales. She isn’t your typical shut down ex-breeding
girl and is a friendly, active dog. Nell has a slight heart murmur which does
not require medication.
People – Nell loves people of both sexes and
all ages and will greet them with a wagging tail after the initial
sniff. Nell is happy to be touched She can still be a bit skittish if startled
her. She has been to the vets many times for examinations and is perfectly
happy to be touched everywhere.
Dogs – Nell is currently in foster with 2 female
dogs and has also met family dogs of both sexes and all ages. She is fine with
all but will growl if they’re too boisterous for her
Cats – Not cat tested
In the home – She loves to follow you around the
house and be with you wherever you are. Nell loves to play/destroy toys socks
and blankets but also loves nothing more than cuddling up to you on the settee
in the evening. When left Nell would rather roam free in the house as she
will dig at doors if left in loose in a room. If this is not possible, she
would need to be crate trained. House
training is a work in progress. Until Nell settles she will need constant
supervision – she is an escape artist and gardens will have to be secure. Care
must be taken when opening front doors etc so that she doesn’t slip out.
Out and about – Adopters will need to continue
with Nell’s training in this area. She is getting there with lead walking but
does zig zag a lot as she really isn’t used to it yet. She does enjoy zooming
around though and will need regular exercise.
Type of home – Nell needs another dog in her
new home. She is learning well from the dogs she is in foster with and loves
cuddling with them. She is also less destructive when left with resident dogs.
An active home would be ideal as she loves a good walk and a run. Nell is fine
with children 5 and over but has not met any younger than that.
Please remember, if you have a dog and it is not
neutered, it is against our policies to re-home a dog with you.
Nell is neutered, chipped, vaccinated and up

Ruby is an 11-year old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and she is fostered
in Berkshire. Ruby is full of life and interested in what everyone is getting
up to, and likes to let you know if she approves or not, and if you are getting
that dinner ready quickly enough for her!
People – Ruby is very happy around people and happy to have
fuss and attention. She is a bit uncomfortable with her feet and legs
being touched, but she has sore legs so to be expected.
Ruby can be a little
reserved when she first meets new people, but once she has the measure of you
she will ask for tummy tickles, give little kisses and loves to snuggle on the
sofa if you help her up and down.
Dogs – Ruby gets on
well with all the dogs in her foster home so would benefit from living with
another similar sized dog.
Cats – Not cat
tested.
In the home – Ruby is
not keen on being left at home and will bark. She is housetrained. She loves a
snuggle on the sofa if you help her up and down.
Out and about
– She will pull slightly and bark a lot initially when leaving the house
and gets very excited. She loves to be out and about but will bark at the sight
of other dogs.
Type of home – Ruby is
looking for someone around a lot of the day and loves to be involved in what
you’re doing, love human company and physical contact. She also thrives on
routine and knowing what’s coming next.
Please
note: Ruby has a heart murmur but has no clinical signs of heart failure. Ruby’s legs
are quite bad generally. Her new family may need to make adaptions in the home
so that Ruby can be involved as much as possible without straining her joints.
Ruby also has some LHS facial paralysis and a tilt, but she manages well.
There will be no adoption donation required for Ruby due to her ongoing health
issues. FOAW will continue to pay for her non-routine vet bills and medication.
Please remember, if
you have a dog and it is not neutered, it is against our policies to re-home a
dog with you.
Ruby is NOT spayed
at the moment due to her health issues. She is fully vaccinated, microchipped,
flea and worm treated. Potential adopters will be expected to travel to meet her
in her foster home in Berkshire.
Hugo is a 9-month old Cavalier cross Bichon Frise
who is being fostered in Crewe, Cheshire. He is the happiest foster dog, When
he runs his ears go like helicopters, he loves being out in all weathers
exploring the countryside and the loves nothing more than retiring to his
favourite chair in the house to sleep.

a little unsure initially but is soon won over with a treat then is everyone’s
best friend. Hugo would suit a family with older children
only. Hugo loves being touched, groomed and bathed
Dogs – Hugo loves other dogs and will
play with all shapes and sizes of dog.
Cats – Hugo currently lives with a cat
and 2 parrots and totally ignores them.
In the home – Hugo is cage trained and
will settle when left but will cry initially. This stops after a few minutes
and he settles with no issue but a new home should expect this initially as
Hugo bonds very quickly with people and wants to be with you. He will be kept
amused with a chew or stuffed kong when left. Hugo isn’t destructive except for
socks left on the floor.
Out and about – Hugo does pull slightly
when excited for his walks but this is improving with training. Hugo loves
going in the car and travels with no issue. He might be cute and fluffy but a
muddy puddle or wet field and he will charge around loving getting grubby! He
gets baths more than once a week to keep him fluffy and cute!
Type of home – Hugo would suit an active
family who will take him new places, let him run around in safe spaces and also
maintain his coat through regular grooming and brushing. Hugo is an absolutely
lovely dog who is so eager to please and will make whoever adopts him the most
loyal happy dog. His tail never stops wagging and he is a wonderful companion
already even though he is just a baby so whoever adopts him will be very
lucky.
Please remember, if you have a dog and it is not
neutered, it is against our policies to re-home a dog with you.

Roxy is an 8-month old Cavalier, who is being
fostered in Newport, South Wales. She is a typical playful 8 months old puppy
that is excited all the time and loves life. Roxy is a very quick learner and
has learned to sit and wait for her treats just like her foster brother and
sister.
Health Issues – Roxy
has misshaped kidneys so her new family will need to immediately
seek treatment for any water infections.
Out and about – She walks very well on the lead and
enjoys being outside. She’s very inquisitive and will greet everyone she sees
be it human or dog.
People – Roxy loves her humans but gets scared
if you raise your voice and can be submissive if you shout. She is very
loving likes to touching you or lying on your lap. Roxy loves children and will
cuddle with children given the opportunity. She is the most loving girl
that will jump up on her foster mum’s lap and put her face on her face and
close her eyes waiting to be smoothed and loved. She loves cuddling with her
foster mum and laying on her lap in the evenings.
Dogs – Roxy loves to play and needs a young playful
brother or sister to burn off her energy. She can be quite persistent when she
wants to play and can annoy a dog that is very laid back and doesn’t have her
energy as she will keep goading them over and over, so a confident playful dog
would be best as they can still put her in her place if needed.
Cats – She is fine with both cats and rabbits
just a little bit inquisitive at times.
In the home – Her manners around food are not
brilliant and she will steal. She is fine to be left for short
periods. Roxy displays typical puppy behaviour and will chew things lying
around. She will steal socks, pegs etc and will eat anything lying on the floor. Her
toilet training is pretty much sorted and she loves nothing more than being out
the garden, running up and down chasing anyone that wants to play with her. Roxy
does not like it in a crate and will make a racket if put in one. She currently
sleeps on the settee downstairs on her own and is quite happy with that as she
usually passes out about 930pm and will give you a lovely wake up call early in
the morning by barking telling you it’s now time to play.
Type of home – A home with a young confident
playful brother or sister (possibly another cavalier as she has thrived in a
foster home full of cavaliers) that can help burn her energy as she is happy
playing exploring and having fun. She loves going on adventures walking and
seeing the big world we live in.
Please remember, if you have a dog and it is not
neutered, it is against our policies to re-home a dog with you.
Roxy is chipped, vaccinated and up to date with her flea and worming treatment. Roxy has not been neutered as she has just finished a season so it is a condition of adoption that her adopters arrange to have her neutered as soon as is practical. A discount voucher is available and follow up checks will be done. Potential adopters will be expected to travel to meet her in her foster home in Newport, South Wales

Millie is 1-year old Bichon Frise who is being fostered in Rhondda, South
Wales. She is pretty much perfect! She’s a little nervous at the moment but
this is understandable as she is only young and has moved from a home where she
was a much-loved pet and it is all strange to her. Possible slight heart murmur
which is being monitored. No treatment needed
People – She’s a little
nervous of strangers but once she knows you, she’ll happily sit on your lap for
a cuddle. Due to her slightly nervy nature we will only rehome her where any
children are older and dog savvy.
Dogs – Millie is friendly with all other dogs
Cats – Not cat tested
In the home – Millie is ok to be
left for short periods. She sleeps happily in
a dog pen in her foster home. Millie has been an
angel since she has been in foster care and has caused no damage at all. She is well adjusted
and used to all household noises. She is toilet trained during the day but has
had the odd accident over night by the back door.
Out and about – Millie walks well on
the lead and enjoys being out and about.
Don’t let Millie’s
clean, white appearance fool you! She is more than happy to get muddy whilst
out enjoying herself. Just today she has been to a local farm with her foster
brother exploring the forest and meeting some of the animals.
.
Type of home – Millie would suit
most homes. She could live as an only dog but could also live with another
kind, resident dog. She can live with sensible children who aren’t too
boisterous but would be equally happy being a companion for a retired person as
long as they are happy to take her for nice long walks and allow her to cuddle
up to them on the sofa.
Please remember, if you have a dog and
it is not neutered, it is against our policies to re-home a dog with you.

Penny will not be re-homed until she is at
least 9 weeks old.
Penny is a wonderful, well rounded little
bundle of mischief and fun. As with all young puppies, she has a battery life
of around 30 minutes and needs a good hour to re-charge. When not sleeping she
plays, eats and gets in to mischief. You will need to make sure you home is
puppy proof and you love puppy kisses!
People – Penny loves all of her humans
except little toddlers who frighten her. She does not live with young children
at present. Penny excepts all visitors without hesitation and is
happy to play with and be cuddled by everyone.
Dogs – Penny currently lives in a foster
home full of dogs young and old and she interacts well with them all.
Cats – Penny has not met any cats but we
think she will be fine.
In the home – As a young puppy, Penny is
not housetrained although she is starting to stick to a pattern. She does not
distinguish between soft toys and electric cables so your home will need to be
puppy proof. She sleeps in her own space and settles well at night.
Out and about – Penny is still too young
to have ventured outdoors.
Type of home – Penny would fit into a
wide range of homes. As a pup she would need someone around most of the time to
continue her training and socialising. She can live with sensible children but
not too young as puppy teeth hurt if she nibbles you. She would like lots of
chew toys and things to keep her active as she grows. Somewhere warm and cosy
to recharge her battery is a must. She can live with another dog or dogs but
she may be too bouncy for old dogs.
Please remember, if you have a dog and it is not
neutered, it is against our policies to re-home a dog with you. We will not
accept full time working homes for puppies. If you live in a flat we will be
asking about your experience of puppy training in a flat.
Penny is chipped, vaccinated and up to date with her flea and worming treatment. Penny is too young to be neutered so it is a condition of adoption that her adopters arrange to have her neutered as soon as he is old enough. A discount voucher is available and follow up checks will be done. It is a condition of adoption that Penny attends puppy socialisation classes and you will be asked about classes available in your area.

of around 30 minutes and needs a good hour to re-charge. When not sleeping she
plays, eats and gets in to mischief. You will need to make sure you home is
puppy proof and you love puppy kisses!
People – Lola loves all of her humans
except little toddlers who frighten her. She does not live with young children
at present. Lola excepts all visitors without hesitation and is happy
to play with and be cuddled by everyone.
Dogs – Lola currently lives in a foster
home full of dogs young and old and she interacts well with them all.
Cats – Lola has not met any cats but we
think she will be fine.
In the home – As a young puppy, Lola is
not housetrained although she is starting to stick to a pattern. She does not
distinguish between soft toys and electric cables so your home will need to be
puppy proof. She sleeps in her own space and settles well at night.
Out and about – Lola is still too young
to have ventured outdoors.
Type of home – Lola would fit into a wide
range of homes. As a pup she would need someone around most of the time to
continue her training and socialising. She can live with sensible children but
not too young as puppy teeth hurt if she nibbles you. She would like lots of
chew toys and things to keep her active as she grows. Somewhere warm and cosy
to recharge her battery is a must. She can live with another dog or dogs but
she may be too bouncy for old dogs.
Please remember, if you have a dog and it is not
neutered, it is against our policies to re-home a dog with you. We will not
accept full time working homes for puppies. If you live in a flat we will be
asking about your experience of puppy training in a flat.
Lola is chipped, vaccinated and up to date with her flea and worming treatment. Lola is too young to be neutered so it is a condition of adoption that her adopters arrange to have her neutered as soon as he is old enough. A discount voucher is available and follow up checks will be done. It is a condition of adoption that Lola attends puppy socialisation classes and you will be asked about classes available in your area. Potential adopters will be expected to travel to meet her in her foster home in the Rhondda, South Wales.

Poor Dionne came to us as a former breeding girl. We soon realised she was expecting a litter of pups. Alfie was born 09/03/2019 so won’t be looking for a new home yet.
Annie is a c.4 month old Whippet x Bedlington x Patterdale who is being
fostered in Crewe, Cheshire. Prospective owners need to research these breeds
to see the traits that Annie may display as she gets older. These are an active
mix of breeds and intelligent so she needs owners that will put the time into training
her and keeping her stimulated to avoid boredom. She is very whippet like after
exercise and loves to lounge on her fosterers lap, but before a walk she is
very bouncy and into everything so new owners will need to keep her active as
she gets lead trained.
People – Annie is a lovely
puppy who is sociable with all humans and very happy to interact. She loves human contact
and cuddles/grooming. Annie is a bouncy
puppy so would suit older children as has sharp puppy teeth. Annie is such a waggy tailed puppy, she bounces on
her back legs when you come back home and is always happy to be cuddled.
Dogs – Annie is a typical
puppy wanting to play with all dogs. She can be a little over the top initially
but does respond to dogs telling her off and is much calmer around the resident
dogs now she has settled in. Annie is a
puppy full of character and she loves to run and play with the resident dogs.
She will curl up with the older ones at night and play games with the younger
ones during the day.
Cats – Annie lives with a
cat and two parrots and is totally fine
In the home – Annie is an active
intelligent mix of breeds so needs continued training in basic puppy commands
and socialisation. Annie is left for a couple of hours
with no issue. She is an active puppy so would benefit from a home with people
there the majority of the day. Annie is a puppy so
will chew when left unattended or bored, but given her mix of breeds and age
this is something that will decrease as her activity increases. She is a very
intelligent puppy and sits when asked.
Out and about – Annie has not been
out yet.
Type of home – Annie needs a home
with experience of the breed mixes Annie is. She needs a home that is looking
for an active dog that will learn quickly and be a loyal member of the family. A family that are home
the majority of the day, and are prepared to give Annie time to settle into a
new routine with patience when lead training and continuing house training.
Annie is a lovely puppy with so much character and she needs a family that will
give her lots of fun in return
Please remember, if you have a dog and
it is not neutered, it is against our policies to re-home a dog with you.
Annie is chipped, vaccinated and
up to date with her flea and worming treatment. Annie has not been
neutered so it is a condition of adoption that her adopters arrange to have her
neutered as soon as she is old enough. A discount voucher is available and

Tucker is a 6-year old Lhasa Apso who is being
fostered in Port Talbot, South Wales. He is an ex-breeding dog whose character
is developing nicely in his foster home. When excited he turns circles and
“punches” the air with his paws. He loves to cuddle and snuggle. His
tongue hangs out of the left side of his mouth as he has no teeth to hold it
in.
People – Tucker loves being around people
although he does appear to prefer females. Tucker loves cuddles and fuss.
He will play on the floor with 5+ children nicely. He has not
encountered any younger children as yet.
Dogs – Tucker loves the company of his younger
foster brother. He doesn’t seem to bother the older dog. Since being
in foster care Tucker has learned to play nicely.
Cats – Tucker doesn’t bother about the cat.
When he first came, he would bark but now doesn’t react.
In the home –Tucker has been left with other
dogs for up to 2 hours. He has not been left on his own at all. Tucker
sleeps in his crate at night and will on occasion take himself into the crate
during the day/evening. Tucker is now able to feed close to the other dogs
without growling and snarling. He will still growl if the others attempt to approach
him while eating. He will allow his foster mum to remove the food and will now
wait his turn if having treats. He has settled and improved greatly.
Tucker is now comfortable with appliances such as TV, washing machine, dryer
etc. He loves feet and will steal your socks from the washing and take to his
bed or the garden and hide. He loves positive praise and is keen to please.
Out and about – Tucker has improved greatly in
this area and is able to walk nicely on the lead.
Type of home – We think Tucker would be happy
where the people are at home mostly. Tucker will need another friendly/playful
dog for company. He could live with a cat. He would like having children to
cuddle and play with and loves lots of walks on the lead. Tucker would demand a
space on the sofa and needs to be loved.
Please remember, if you have a dog and it is not
neutered, it is against our policies to re-home a dog with you.

Can I live with other dogs?: Gina needs to be
re-homed with at least one resident dog.
Fostered In: Newport
Gina is an 18-month old Bichon Frise who is being
fostered in Newport. She is a very affectionate little girl who likes to sleep on
the settee besides you. She wags her tail when you come in the room and is
starting to respond to her name and will come when called. Gina likes to sleep
on the bed with her feet in the air and not just curling in a tight ball. Gina
likes to play chase with her foster sister. She is still very nervous but we
are sure, with the right family, she will be a very affectionate dog.
People – Gina is still a bit shy and
wary. If she comes on your lap she is happy to be touched anywhere. She is

your hands. She is very happy with the resident children who are around 8
years old

garden without her and likes to sleep by her/on her.

In the home – Gina still needs some toilet
training. She has been left for 2 hours at the most and she seems fine
when her foster mum comes back. They are left in the kitchen. She likes to
chew things like a puppy. She doesn’t like walking past you especially if
you are in a doorway. Gina doesn’t like going out in the dark or the rain.
Out and about – She is still a bit nervous on
the lead but is quite happy to follow and walk wither foster sister.
She does look back at her foster mum for reassurance when out walking and
does prefer to walk on grass. Gina doesn’t like having her harness/lead put on
but seems to enjoy going for a walk.
Type of home – Gina needs home where the owner
is there most of the time. She needs to be with another dog similar size to
her. She would be happy around children who would play with her. She needs a
home where she can have a lot of love and attention to help flourish. She likes
going for walks.

Zara is a 2-year old crossbreed who is being fostered in the Rhondda, South Wales. She just loves to have cuddles on her terms and is trying very hard to be brave with other people. She has come a long way but still has a long way to go.
People – Zara is happy around people if she
knows you. She is still fearful of anything new and is very scared of new
people. Zara is happy with gentle
older children. She is now able to come to be stroked. Grooming is yet to come
Dogs – Zara enjoys being with other dogs and
at least one resident dog is a must.
Cats – Not cat tested
In the home – Zara enjoys curling up on a selection
of dog beds and sofas during the day and sleeps upstairs with her doggy family.
Zara is learning how to play and loves jumping about chasing toys she throws
for herself. She loves to play with the dogs in her foster home and really is
getting more confident as the days go on. Zara is OK to be left for up to 3 hours so
long as she is with the other dogs.
Out and about – Zara
has been car sick previously. She is timid and nervy out walking, a harness is
essential. When out walking Zara is timid of other dogs however she enjoys
being part of a larger group of accepting dogs.
Type of home – Zara needs a calm home with at least 1
other dog. She needs lots of love and, at times, her own space. She needs a
home which will nurture and encourage her and where her people are home most of
the time. She has made great strides in the last month and with the right home
life we know she will flourish. Zara is gentle and sweet with a fun-loving
side. Zara must be homed where there is at least one other dog and that dog
must be confident for her to continue to grow her own confidence.
Please remember, if you have a dog and it is not
neutered, it is against our policies to re-home a dog with you.
Zara is neutered, chipped, vaccinated and up
to date with her flea and worming treatment. Potential adopters will be
expected to travel to meet her in her foster home in South Wales.
Nutmeg is a 6-year old Pug cross who is being
fostered in Rhondda, South Wales. She is an ex-breeding bitch so has had a
rough start to life but is now on the mend. She is so excited when her foster
family come home, but even more excited when the harness & lead come out. Nutmeg
is desperate to find a new home of her own.
People – She is little cautious when meeting
strangers, but soon comes around particularly if there are treats (she prefers
strong cheddar, but boring dog treats will do). She has met a range of men and
women. She enjoys a fuss, loves being brushed. Happy to have all
parts of her body touched. She is a little tense when having her teeth checked,
but no aggression. She has been tested with older children and seems ok.
Dogs – She has had extensive exposure
to dogs of various age, size and breed, on and off lead. Nutmeg has no problems
with other dogs, she is confident but not desperate for their company. She is
first in the queue when there are treats, more than willing to push in front of
the bigger dogs. She hasn’t learnt to play with other dogs yet, but in time she
might do because she likes playing with toys.
Cats – Not cat tested
In the home – Nutmeg can be left a couple of
hours and on rare occasions 3 or 4 hours without problem. She makes a fuss as
her foster mum leaves but soon settles when she realises she isn’t going with
her. She sleeps downstairs on her own without fuss, only making a noise
if she needs to go outside for a wee. Nutmeg is house trained. She loves
chasing/fetching and shaking her toys. She collects toys in her bed, last time
she had clean blankets her foster mum took out 12 toys! She loves to
cuddle.
Out and about – Nutmeg is well behaved when
away from the home, on lead, off lead, at other people’s houses, in coffee
shops, in pubs etc. Her foster family loves to watch her off the lead, she
does zoomies when she gets out in an open field.
Type of home – Nutmeg needs a home with
someone around most of the time. She loves company and going out and about. She
enjoys her walks, so someone who will walk her every day. She will accept
longer or shorter walks, so huge walks every day aren’t essential. She’s done a
2-hour walk without problem. She does like to be sociable, so finding places
which accept dogs when out and about would make her happy – she particularly
likes pubs/hotels where dog treats are provided.
A garden would be great as she loves the garden,
sitting in the sun, mooching round or chasing toys thrown for her. Nutmeg
needs a home where they understand her background as a puppy farm girl.
She would be very happy as an only dog. We think she would also be fine with
another dog(s) – but we would be looking for calm, confident, sensible dogs.
Please remember, if you have a dog and it is not
neutered, it is against our policies to re-home a dog with you.
Nutmeg is neutered, chipped, vaccinated and up to date with her flea and worming treatment. Potential adopters will be expected to travel to meet her in her foster home in Rhondda, South Wales
Can I live with Children?: Would prefer no children
Can I live with cats?: Yes
Can I live with other dogs?: Yes, a must
Fostered In: Crewe, Cheshire
Mitch is a one-year old Cavalier King Charles cross who is being fostered in Crewe, Cheshire. He has improved so much from the shut down little puppy that joined us some time ago. He loves to play with the other dogs he will play chase with forever. He loves to snuggle up with a cosy blanket.
People – Mitch is still struggling with human
touch, he will have a fuss but even his foster mum has to be very gentle when
approaching him. He still has a way to go with learning that not all
humans are horrid. Mitch seems to prefers women to men. Mitch is currently
living with 5-year old dog savvy children but he doesn’t go near them as we
think they move to quickly for him. He has never shown any aggression and from
a distance he likes to watch them. I think Mitch would do best in a home
without resident young children.
Dogs – Mitch is currently living with other dogs. He
adores the companionship of the other dogs, especially other cavaliers.
Cats – Mitch is living with cats and shows no
interest in chasing them
In the home – Mitch has been left for up to 3
hours and has not been destructive. He is very well behaved at home and has no
concerns with being in a crate. Mitch sits by the door and looks for his
foster mum if she leaves the room. Mitch loves tea time and will now take food
from his foster mum’s hand which he didn’t do when he first arrived. At
night his foster mum will say Mitch….Bedtime… and he goes in the crate or
climbs on to the dog bed and then he is settled for the night. As he was and
can be such a frightened little boy every small step is amazing to see and be a
part of.
Out and about – Mitch has started to go for
short walks but still very nervous with people, traffic, spooks very easily.
Ongoing training will be required in this area.
Type of home – Mitch needs a home with at
least one resident, confident but playful dog that will give him confidence but
also a play buddy. He needs a home where he won’t be left for long, Mitch
needs someone around most of the time. He wouldn’t suit a home where people
would be out every day. He needs an adult home or with much older children as
we don’t think a home with small children will help him with becoming a
confident dog. A home with very patient people that will be patient and
respect that he will take a while to get used to them and appreciate that he
still has lots of confidence building to do.
Special request from Mitch… a home with a garden please!
Please remember, if you have a dog and it is not
neutered, it is against our policies to re-home a dog with you.
Mitch is neutered, chipped, vaccinated and up
to date with his flea and worming treatment. Potential adopters will be
expected to travel to meet him in his foster home in Crewe, Cheshire
Can I live with other dogs?: Yes,
at least one other dog required
Fostered In: Cardiff, South Wales
Jimmy is a 7-year old Cavalier who is being fostered in Cardiff, South
Wales. He is looking for a quiet retirement home where he has company for most
of the day and at least one other dog to play with.
Health Issues – Jimmy is deaf and has
paralysis on right side of face. He only has one fang left as all his other
teeth have been removed. Jimmy has a grade 2/3 heart murmur. He is prone
to ear infections and is on Surolan antibiotic and Epiotic cleaning fluid. His
ears will need regular cleaning to prevent recurrence.
People – Jimmy is great around adults
and indifferent to children. He gets irritated when having his ears cleaned but
not aggressive.
Dogs – Jimmy has been really
good with every other dog he has met and we will only rehome him where there is
at least one other dog for company.
Cats – He hasn’t been in
contact with any cats or small animals
In the home – Jimmy will
require continued toilet training although he has improved a great deal
and there is just the odd accident ever now and then. He has only been left for
an hour at a time and does get a bit uncomfortable – he pulls his bedding out
and he will scratch at doors if they are shut and he is on own. Jimmy likes
to eat any food available so needs to be monitored during feeding times so he
doesn’t put on weight!
Out and about – He is fine walking on
lead when with other dogs also fine off lead when with them. When out on his
own he will stop and start needs encouragement to move forward but short,
regular walks are important to keep him in top shape.
Type of home – He needs a doggy
companion and someone who will be with him most of the time and give lots of
cuddles and a secure, safe place for his retirement. He would prefer his humans to be around for
most of the day as he isn’t keen on being left. Jimmy is happy to live with
children but hasn’t been cat tested.
Please remember, if you have a dog and
it is not neutered, it is against our policies to re-home a dog with you.
Jimmy is neutered, chipped,
vaccinated and up to date with his flea and worming treatment. Potential adopters
will be expected to travel to meet him in his foster home in Cardiff,
South Wales
